Lucky Mothers Get Great Houses

Sunday May 14, 2006
Robert Venturi is only one of many architects who have designed for their parents and other family members. Young architects often launch their careers by designing family homes. Mature architects sometimes turn to their families when they want to try out experimental new ideas. For an up-close and personal look at home designs by twenty-five architects, check out Beth Dunlop's book, A House for My Mother (compare prices). The inexpensive paperback is packed with photos, plus interviews with architects and their parents.
